Totally The Bomb · Jamie Slack
I climbed a mountain for a burger.
Four-point-one miles. For Arby’s. There was a soda fountain in the woods, and yes, I made it to the top.
I’m Jamie Slack, founder and editor of Totally The Bomb. I make the kind of stories people immediately send to somebody else: unexpected adventures, genuinely useful finds, launches worth caring about, and the weird little detail everyone remembers.

The work
There’s a story in that.
An actual mountain. An actual burger.
The Arby’s adventure
I went for the adventure and the burger. I came home knowing I could do something I hadn’t thought I could.
Disney magic · From the archive
Plane tickets in the Christmas stockings
In 2015, I traded presents under the tree for a family trip to Disneyland. My daughter wanted the Haunted Mansion dressed up for The Nightmare Before Christmas. We went.
Naked on a pig farm.
Yes, that happened. It was part of a pork-sponsored experience. It remains one of the more ridiculous sentences in my work history.
Beaches, Turks & Caicos.
My travel experiences include Beaches Turks & Caicos. Beautiful places belong here, too.
Pandora before opening day.
I participated in the 2017 media sneak peek of Pandora – The World of Avatar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
A dinner party in an alley.
Public art, food, and a familiar Colorado Springs alley transformed after dark. Read my Revel story.
Admission hosted by Downtown Partnership of Colorado Springs.
What I make
Give me the interesting part.
I don’t publish press releases as stories. I find the human hook, do the thing, and make the useful version readers actually want.
First-person features
Hosted travel, restaurants, attractions, previews, openings, and genuinely strange experiences—with original photos or video when the story calls for it.
Launches with a point of view
Products, food, beauty, entertainment, and seasonal moments translated into clear details, memorable context, and a reason to care.
Editorial + social packages
Blog and social storytelling for the right fit, with paid work clearly disclosed and editorial judgment kept intact.
The writer behind the work
Hi. I’m Jamie.
I’m based in Colorado Springs, and my curiosity goes considerably farther. Alongside Totally The Bomb, I’m the creator behind Elementually on TikTok, where I share readings and spiritual content.
You may also know my earlier work under Jamie Harrington. Same writer. My books are here.
Jamie’s wider creator reach
Elementually is Jamie’s separate spiritual-content account. Its audience is not Totally The Bomb’s audience, and these figures are not combined.
Public profile figures checked October 16, 2026. Pinterest also displayed 6.6M monthly views. Each figure belongs to its named account.
For editors and producers
The useful bits, all in one place.
